Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing

Scott Smith, President

Scott Smith, Owner & President

Scott, aka "Outlaw 550", can be found most nights on the High Lifter Forum "cutting up" with customers from around the country. When Scott's away from the office, he's usually conquering new mud holes on his Polaris Sportsman 800, Polaris Ranger RZR as Team Captain of Team High Lifter-Polaris Racing, or at home fishing with the kids and the family zoo (the dogs!). He also spends many hours on the internet surfing and searching for new, innovative ways to keep customers and fellow ATVers informed and entertained on High Lifter's website.

In addition to the fun stuff, Scott also keeps the Company focused and steered in the right direction, and is instrumental in the design of most of our prototype products, including evaluating their performance prior to sale.


Mike Smith, General Manager

Mike Smith, General Manager

Mike is the General Manager of High Lifter and Scott’s dad. He participated in the idea for the original lift kit that started HL and is responsible for many of the ideas that have become products since then. His duties are management of day to day operations, hiring top quality people, and he is still involved in development of our product line.

Though he has a MBA and years of experience in management in various positions, he counts his 50 or so years driving Jeeps, trucks and ATVs off road (mostly in the mud) as being most valuable to his role in High Lifter.
